Bruce when was the last time you saw a Sport Illustrated photographer using a Pentax. Never will. That's my point. Pentax is not trying to compete in that market. It's competing for amateurs and does a fine job with it.... If you want to shoot with the big boys go and get a big boy camera. My cameras do everything I want them to do... I'm not worried about it. If I really wanted to shoot sports action photography for a living I'd use my newspaper's Nikons or buy a 300 2.8 for my Pentaxs. I never said anything about a 70-200 F4. Where did that come from...?
